Hi Guys....how are you and thanks so much for stopping by the cafe today! It's "Throwback Thursday" and we are going back down memory lane with the pretty "Rainbow Inspired" shoot to brighten up your day!

If you are a fan of a bright colorful - rainbow inspired color palette then you are truly in for a treat today...the lovely and talented ladies from Tart Event Co. asked me to design the florals for their "Rainbow Inspired" shoot captured so beautifully by Stephanie Yonce Photography....you all know how much I love using a bright and yummy color palette in my floral designs and lots of pretty colorful ribbon for the bouquet!! Well, all the details came together so perfectly with a host of AMAZINGLY talented wedding artists...let's check out all the colorful details captured by Stephanie....Enjoy!!!

I was inspired earlier this week by an article in Martha Stewart Living about jadite, old fashioned green glassware that really puts a pop in your decor. The shades of jadite paired next to any light shade of blue reminded me of seaglass... which brings me to this post! Calming blues and clear, glassy green... what could be a more lovely pair for a spring or summer wedding color palette? One of my favorite things about these seaglass shades are that you don't have to go crazy trying to match everything perfectly. As long as you stay within the same soft tones (no neon lime greens, please.) you will acheive this fresh, serene look.

It's another very lovely summer Friday at The Cafe, and my mind has been on the ocean all week long! Between Richmond's rainy day skies and these lazy beach day longings, I have come up with a color palette of calm, beautiful blues. You really can't go wrong if you mix different shades of the same color. I would love to see bridesmaids all wear a different shade of blue. So pretty and perfect for summertime! For a color palette of these blues, I like the idea of adding some gold elements, but if you are more of a silver or gray person, that would work well too in tying it all together. Hope you all enjoy your weekend and get a little time to gaze out into the ocean!!! ~ A
